‘Stop Telling Me What to Do!’: MAGA Supporter Crashes Out at Black Author Book Talk After Getting the Boot for Spewing Racist Insults

On May 21, Black author Dr. La’Tonya Rease Miles appeared at a book talk to promote her new memoir, “Smart Girl: A First-Gen Origin Story.” Attendees gathered at the quaint James M. Duncan Branch Library in Alexandria, Virginia, hoping to get their books signed and to hear Miles’ inspiring story of being the first in her family to attend and graduate from a four-year university.

Instead, they got an earful from a belligerent Trump supporter who crashed the reading.

“This is not Nazi Germany! I don’t need to do anything. Stop telling me what to do,” shouted the older white man.

According to the caption of the now viral video, he infiltrated what appears to have been the book talk from March 17 and began heckling the author and harassing her with “racist rants.” Decked out in a fiery red Make America Great Again t-shirt, the man refused to calm down or lower his voice, and likened library security to Nazi Germany, “communist China,” and the “f-cking USSR” when they told him to shush.
